PER CURIAM:
Jie Liu, a native and citizen of the People’s Republic of China, petitions for review
of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing his appeal from the
Immigration Judge’s denial of his applications for asylum and withholding of removal. We
have thoroughly reviewed the record and Liu’s claims and conclude that the evidence does
not compel a ruling contrary to any of the administrative factual findings, see 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252(b)(4)(B), and that substantial evidence supports the denial of relief, see INS v.
Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481 (1992). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review.
In re Liu (B.I.A. May 17, 2023). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
